Vol 4 Chapter 2 (1/2)
“——Onii-chan Onii-chan, hey!”
“…”
“Onii-chaaan Oooi Ya-hooo~ Can you hear meee?”
“…Huh? Ah, yeah I can hear you”
St Liliana Academy’s student council room Lunch time
My sister’s calls brought me back to reality
“Daydrea on your mind?”
“Ah— No, nothing important”
I smiled at my worried sister
“My mind wandered because I lack sleep, that’s all You know, there was a lot going on yesterday until late”
“Is that so? But Onii-chan, you look like you’re depressed, or how should I put it, in low spirits I’m a little worried”
“No, no There’s nothing to worry about”
“Perhaps the bento wasn’t to your liking?”
“You ood”
“Then are you hurt somewhere?”
“It’s not that either”
“I-It couldn’t possibly be that, right? You’re thinking about leaving me, your wife, for another woman?!”
“Yep, you’re saying inappropriate stuff again”
“Aye, even Himenokouji Akito has a bad day sometimes”
The prez cut in while sipping her after-meal tea
“He’s got a cunnin’ face, but that guy’s still just 16 It’s a troublin’ age for youngsters, so it ain’t strange if he’s gettin’ bored, right? Not to ht?”
“Well, yeah Must be that, huh?”
I faced her s to reply as calmly as possible On the inside, of course, I was far from calm
That Nikaidou Arashi+ has a really nasty character Just thisshe prepared those land like that because she enjoys ht? Yeah, it’s not just her character, her hobbies are nasty too It’s just too much for me
In any case, I’ve totally miscalculated Not only does she know aboutto be hard to deal with For now she said she wouldn’t use it for blackuess her words can be so so
…
……
…………
Hm
I wonder if Arisa’s okay
She was shocked when she heard that I was leaving the Takanomiya House We haven’t been in touch since It’s selfish, but I hope she’s doing okay Although her attitude is still worryingthe Takanomiyas——
IThey pushed that engagement to Airsa onto ot her all excited, I suddenly left She and I were both victims
“Onii-chan You’re still thinking about so bad, aren’t you?”
My sister glared at ain
“That expression, how you breath, the positioning of your lips… Onii-chanabout some woman that isn’t me! Please think about ether”
“…You’ve got a point, but how could anyone read soestures…?”
“Those 16 years of being Onii-chan’s little sister aren’t just for show When it cos from just a movement of his eyelashes I am, so to say, an Onii-chan meister[1] E~he~”
“That’s not so you declare so proudly If I were to put it badly, then you’re actually close to an eccentric stalker, right?”
Then Nasuhara Anastasia butted in
“I, however, am very interested in the details of that proposal Who did you sexually fantasize about just now? Confess this instant, Akkii”
“That’s alike that”
“My, how filthy You not only surrendered yourself to your dirty delusions, but you’ve already finished swiftly under your desk, haven’t you?”
“I haven’t finished anything! What are you saying, you…”
“Your boldness, the way you’re getting aroused by your insatiable sexual desires – I’ Fufu, it seems I’ve underestimated Himenokouji Akito as a man”
“But… Like I’ve said, it’s a …”
As usual, Nasuhara-san was showering me with false accusations on a pro level She always beca dirty
“I’m interested too”
Next up was Ginbei, who followed up with:
“Putting aside that Akiko’s about to becoree those 16 years weren’t for nothing, and she does have a lethal case of bro-con syndroh her off since you can’t draw any reliable conclusions fro, or lips However, this tiht, Akito’s sister, I’ot”
“Oh… Thank you very much, Ginbei-san… Or at least I think I should thank you for saying ‘I support you’ with a smile… But somehow I don’t really feel I should be thankful here Why on Earth is that so, I wonder…”
It’s because of that, Akiko
She’s acting like she’s praising you, but you’re actually being ht?!
“So, what’s the irl were you thinkin’ about? Be obedient and confess Now”
“No, no How did it end up like this?”
“Why would you even ask ‘How’? I’m a close friend — naturally I’d want to know about your relationshi+p with your other friends”
“No, well, maybe, but…”
“What else is there? Are you tryin’ to hide so from me?”
“No, of course not”
“If so, out with it Who’re you thinkin’ about? Someone in this room? Or someone outside?”
“Ah— No, you see…”
What’s going on?
Soet forced into this? I expected as much from Akiko, but pokerface Nasuhara-san and the still extreo against them with this kind of atmosphere
It’d be bad if I confessed I was thinking about my fiancée, so I need to derail this conversation now
“Goes without sayin’ that he was fantasizin’ ‘bout me, ya see…”
As if the other three weren’t already enough, now the president joined the fray too
“Yeah, Himenokouji Akito was thinkin’ ’bout ether to deepen our student council ties, he couldn’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout bein’ all lovey-dovey with me”
“That is so not true”
Akiko instantly denied
“President values lewd things ests ‘hentai’ when you type the letter ‘H’ There’s no way Onii-chan would think about her Onii-chan possesses a truly refined eye for woh, for some reason, he has yet to make a move on his cute little sister”
“This is rare; we share the same opinion”
Nasuhara-san said with a nod and continued:
“It is exceedingly arrogant to harbor such delusions about a man indifferent to women’s approaches It is self-conscious at best You do have absurdly good looks and a powerful personality, but I expected that you could objectively evaluate yourself Unfortunately, it seeht”
“I support you all on this too!”
Now even Ginbei joined the war
“But my theory is different: I think the president tried to deceive us all She just told an absurd story to cal lunch It’s a delusion — even as a daydrea others would immediately dismiss Also, from how she said it with such confidence, it’s likely that she played the clown on purpose——— Right?”
“Oi, oi, ya guys’re overdoing it I hold an elite position as St Lialiana Acadeht? Bein’ a tad more respectful wouldn’t hurt, hmm?”
“I’”
“I cannot hear you”
“Not listenin’”
“Kakaka Nothin’ but harsh subordinates here, eh? Well, thank ya very much”
While laughing out loud, the prez shi+fted her gaze in my direction
“Is yer opinion as harsh as theirs, Himenokouji Akito?”
“Eeehm——”
I fumbled with my words, eyed by everyone in the room
My next reply would be important, but I barely understood the situation I needed a har off the question — so very hard to counter
“Eh? What up? Ya hesitatin’?”
Prez urged me on with a smirk and a calm expression
Going by that expression, it didn’t seem like she demanded a particular reply Even if she didn’t likeit off as usual
Right, that should be the case, but…
“Yes I was thinking about prez”
I answered with a forced sh this made me a coward, I couldn’t help it
No one can blaot me by my weak points, after all Her intentions aren’t clear, so it should be safer not to upset her, shouldn’t it?
“Yeah, I thought about prez after all It’s only natural, you know? She’s hard to approach, but just so beautiful What’s more, she seized power in the student council, and now she stands on top of St Liliana Academy It’s a position that holds powerful authority, isn’t it? Before I knew it, I started thinking about prez all the time I can’t help it”
It’s better to stick with this, right?
Yeah, I’ll stick with it until the end, I’ll praise Nikaidou Arashi+ to the high heavens until it ale low
“As expected fro about you? Even though it didn’t show on my face?”
“Well, that’s simple It’s ‘cause I’ve been watchin’ ya this whole time, ya know?”
